I think the current methodology skews the data; consider that an instance federated with say, Hexbear, is probably going to have significantly more individual and community bans than an instance who only made 5-6 bans before recognizing the pattern and blocking the instance.

If the goal of this study is to see which places most aggressively moderate their content, you’re actually getting somewhat of the reverse.

Wow this looks incredible

Very interesting stuff! Defederations should count as a ban of all instance users, imo.

We don’t have a right to force other people to engage with us against their will. I must say I find it surprising that an “anarchist” would “agree to disagree” that “No means no”.

But it’s not ours. We can request someone else do something for us, but if they don’t want to, and we continue making demands of someone else, then they have the right to stop interacting with us. That’s not an attack and it doesn’t cause injury.

But defederation is not something that be “threatened” because it’s not an attack, it’s a boundary. We don’t have the right to control other people. If someone asks us to treat them a specific way and we choose not to, they have the right to walk away and without fear of harassment, just as we do.

I’m confused, we don’t own them. We can’t control what content someone else chooses to syndicate (or not) to their hard drive via the activitypub protocol.

Why do you say that? They hold no power over us, nor us over them. They can’t control what we choose to store on our own hard drives.

its not the one thing like u said

How is defederating an “injury”?

Sharing here because the free speech instance censored it

When did Trump or Biden attack the country of Iraq? Iraq is a US strategic partner and the US basically pays for their entire military. Even claiming Obama attacked the nation of Iraq is a big overreach, imo.

I agree but that has nothing to do with the “Nu” pejorative assigned to Kelvinverse films.

The reactionary racists and trolls started reapplying the term to the Black Lady show and pretended that crying a lot is somehow the same thing as Captain Kirk riding a motorcycle through a flaming ring.

no this is patrick

in my culture shitting on anything except the three kelvinverse films is a no no

they tried to take our word and they tried to take our culture away
